a little piece of Americana you can wear! made from two original Purina feed sacks dating to the 1940s, these pants feature the iconic red and white checkerboard pattern that has been part of Purina's identity since the late 1800s. originally used to package poultry feed, these 100 lb cotton sacks once held Purina Broiler Chow Special and Purina Chick Growena, two different feeds from one of America's most recognizable agricultural brands!
the best part is the mix of graphics! one sack features bold faded blue lettering while the other has deep green lettering, both surrounded by those incredible red checkerboards. the oversized typography, original advertising, and contrasting colors create a playful patchwork effect without using a single new print. the original sack borders have been preserved throughout, with checkerboard details running all the way down to the hems. finished with a comfy elastic waist and relaxed wide-leg fit for easy everyday wear. every pair comes with a matching scrunchie because no scrap goes to waste ✂️
size: M-L / 30"-36" waist / 39" length (note: these pants are very forgiving • designed to comfortably fit a wider range of bodies than the letter size suggests)

sewn: 10/8 in California in over 5 hours
fyi:
+ best cared for by hand • machine wash cold on gentle cycle if needed +
